TV volume control doesn't work when playing a dvd.

I have a Pioneer dvd player hooked up to an older Sharp TV. When I am playing a dvd disc the sound level cannot be adjusted by the TV main panel or remote. As a matter of fact it's stuck at one level and it's on the louder side. The volume works fine when I'm watching regular TV programming. When I turn on my dvd and hit play I can hear what's on the disc playing at the same time I'm watching regular TV. I know I should not see or hear anything until I switch over to TV/Video to get to Video 1.
Any Suggestions?

Have you tryed to use a lens cleaning disc yet. The laser lens on these players and recorders alike, must have the lens cleaned every oince in awhile. If that does not help, most likly you have a bad laser pickup assembly and you will need to replace the plaer as to have that repaiered, you could buy a new unit. Good Luck

Had the same problem. After a couple of times of removing the DVD player and manuelly removing the DVD I called for a RMA and they fixed it, but they say the problem was that I had another DVD in the player. ???

I hooked up a Pioneer DVD player to my TV and when I play a DVD the volume cannot be controlled by the TV. It just plays at one level and on the louder side. When I'm watching regular TV and the DVD player is on and playing a disc I start to hear the DVD soundtrack at the same time as the whatever I'm watching on TV. I should not be able to hear anything until I switch over to Video 1. Any suggestions?

Good day.
You are possibly right. Audio circuit might got affected. I would like to suggest likewise that you check also if the speaker is busted, the audio IC and if it receives supply from the flyback.
